IN THIS ISSUE
Residents from numerous Oklahoma coun-ties
were adversely affected by the tornadoes,
straight-line winds, flooding and damaging
hail that occurred in May 2013. The Oklahoma
Department of Commerce was awarded a
National Emergency Grant (NEG) through the
U.S. Department of Labor, which will provide
temporary paid employment positions to aid in
cleanup and recovery work.
The primary purpose of this federal grant is to
provide jobs while restoring public infrastruc-ture
and services so regular business and
employment activities can resume. Worksites
will be established in the areas designated by
FEMA where clean-up, restoration, and ser-vice
activities are currently being performed.
The designated areas include Canadian,
Cleveland, Lincoln, Oklahoma, and Pottawat-omie
counties. Additional sites will be set up
to assist in projects to provide humanitarian
assistance to victims of the disaster and to
aid high impact non-profits who are providing
temporary services, restoring public services,
etc.
Priority for participation in the NEG program
will be given to those workers who experi-enced
job loss as a result of the disaster. Oth-ers
eligible to participate include workers who
are temporarily dislocated, dislocated workers
who are unemployed and not receiving in-come
support, and individuals who have been
unemployed for 15 weeks or more. Veterans
are also encouraged to apply.
Workers will be paid minimum wage or a
comparable rate for the occupation they are
assigned to perform, with a maximum wage
of $12,000 (excluding benefits) limited to up
to 6 months or 1,040 hours. Other benefits
that may be available include covering costs
of child care, transportation, as well as safety
and work related equipment.
For more information and to apply contact
the South OKC Workforce Oklahoma Office
